Insatisfação corporal, antropometria e dieta de adolescentes em treinamento de Futebol

Introduction: Body dissatisfaction is commonly observed in adolescence, resulting in nutritional inadequacies, however few studies with this aspect are performed in adolescents in sports training. Objective: To assess the body image with parameters of the nutritional status (anthropometry and food intake) of adolescents trained for soccer. Materials and methods: This is an observational, cross-sectional study of 60 male adolescents, trained for soccer. Questionnaires were applied on general health status, and another questionnaire applied with the Scale of drawings of silhouettes in adolescents. To evaluate the nutritional status, anthropometric data (weight, height, circumference and skinfolds) were measured and the food intake was evaluated through a 24-hour food recall. It was considered α = 5%. Results: The mean age was 13.55 (1.61) years among adolescents. Approximately 67% (n = 40) of the adolescents showed body dissatisfaction for thinness, even with the majority being eutrophic, according to Body Mass Index (BMI). Lipid intake was higher in the group of adolescents dissatisfied with overweight, who also presented BMI for overweight and obesity. Discussion: The results shown most adolescents are dissatisfied with their body appearance, even they are regularly practicing physical activity. Conclusion: Body dissatisfaction is related to image distortion, weight excess and inadequacy of diet. So, it is necessary to associate the practice of sports with healthy eating habits.
